These shoes from Bachick (Montevideo, Uruguay) fit so amazingly well that the high platforms cause surprisingly few problems to walk on. While wearing them I am simply 10 centimetres taller. They look great with the Katiwa-skirts of Drie-en-zeventig en Zeven-en-zestig.

Photos made in some seconds by myself. Later I will replace them by pictures where also my head is visible!

The Saaibestrijding project

Some first steps toward the re-introduction of colourful and creative men's clothing, after two centuries dominated by black, grey, boring mass clothing. That is what Saaibestrijding is about. Often in cooperation with creative designers, makers, photographers and other enthusiastic people I try to trace new paths in male clothing. I am not a fashion designer. Not at all. My mother considered it necessary for her son that he learned how to use a sewing machine, but it was the central theme of my artwork that made me curious about, for example, the custom of lots of western men to wear ties around their neck. An extremely weird habit if you think further about it.

The Saaibestrijding project wants to inspire, to encourage everybody to leave the rude dictatorship of the fashion industry and its commercial power behind. Everybody is creative. You are not? No problem: There's no copyright on Saaibestrijding. Feel free to use my ideas and designs to copy them, to be inspired by them, to distribute them on the internet wherever you want.
